HighlightsThe purpose of this report is to describe an unusual case of nasal septum ulcer as an isolated manifestation of histoplasmosis, which stands out from most common forms, such as pulmonary or disseminated ones.In order to investigate an isolated septal lesion we must consider several diagnostic hypotheses, among them, leprosy, tuberculosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, Wegener’s granulomatosis, leishmaniasis, as well as histoplasmosis.A broad clinical investigation is important for the correct diagnosis and early therapy, considering that immunocompromised patients present a higher risk of progression to the disseminated form of the disease, with high mortality rates.
As políticas públicas e demais ações de promoção da saúde, relativas às DST (doenças sexualmente transmissíveis), devem atentar para quais informações ou o que as pessoas conhecem sobre DST. Dados do Boletim Epidemiológico-AIDS/DST do Ministério da saúde apresentam um total de 608.230 casos de AIDS notificados de 1980 a junho de 2011 no Brasil. E apesar das instituições de ensino serem um excelente campo de conscientização sobre as DSTs, no cotidiano das escolas há uma grande dificuldade dos professores em abordar assuntos relacionados com a sexualidade não só com adolescentes, mas também com jovens e adultos membros da EJA (Educação de jovens e adultos). O presente artigo apresenta resultados do trabalho desenvolvido com alunos da EJA pelo Projeto Sexualidade-Mitos e Verdades da UFG, que aborda temas que envolvem a sexualidade e DSTs. Foi possível verificar que a maior parte dos alunos sabe identificar pelo menos um sintoma que costuma ser relacionado às DSTs, além disso, as mulheres apresentaram maior conhecimento sobre as formas de prevenção da AIDS do que os homens, mas também foi possível verificar a falta de conhecimento dos alunos sobre informações básicas referentes a prevenção de DSTs. Estes resultados expõem a necessidade da atuação de projetos e políticas públicas relacionadas à sexualidade não só entre adolescentes, mas também entre jovens e adultos, tendo como campo aberto e carente, os estudantes da EJA.

Analysis of knowledge of students and the education of young adults (EJA) about diseases sexually transmitted ABSTRACT: Public politics and other actions to promote health, relating to STD (sexually transmitted diseases), should pay attention to what information or what people know about STDs. Data from the Epidemiological Bulletin-AIDS / STD Ministry of Health show a total of 608,230 AIDS cases were reported from 1980 to June 2011 in Brazil. And while educational institutions are excellent field awareness about STDs, in daily school there is a great difficulty for teachers in teach subjects related to sexuality not only to teens but also to young and adults members of the EYA (education of youth and adults). This article presents results of the work with the EYA students by Sexuality Project at UFG, which subjects involving sexuality and STDs. We noticed that most students can identify at least one symptom that is often related to STDs, moreover, women had greater knowledge about ways of preventing AIDS than men, but it was also possible to verify the absence of students' knowledge of basic information regarding the prevention of STDs. These results expose the need of projects and public politics related to sexuality not only among adolescents but also among youth and adults, it having the open field and needy, the students of the EYA.
